I'm not a loser in love from Dimensional Adventurer

"You are frozen..."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!? Ha! Why don't you let me talk!"

Alice suddenly broke free while Caschia was talking to Arthur. She took a few big breaths, and then after she finished speaking, she also noticed Arthur and the others who woke up.Then, she took a deep breath, and then shouted at Arthur: "You are in big trouble! Do you know! Big-trouble-!!"

The dwarf warrior who heard the voice on the opposite side nodded and showed satisfaction with Alice's loud voice. It seemed that he agreed with Alice's approach.

"I, I, I, we didn't get into trouble! We just passed by by chance, right! By chance, we just passed by by chance!'

Faced with Alice's questioning, Arthur still chose to be stubborn.

But what good is that?

In the end, he and his friends were forced by the threats and honestly admitted their mistakes and apologized on the spot. They were also picked up and sneaked to the Adventurer's Guild like little chickens.Walking into the Adventurer's Guild, Alice asked Arthur and his friends to line up in front of the counter and apologize to the guild staff.

The people in the guild were quite surprised when they saw the three-person team returning with Alice and her party, but when they saw Arthur and the others, the expressions on their faces instantly changed from surprise to anger.Being stared at by a pair of angry eyes, even the most shameless person will realize that something is really serious, just like Arthur.Arthur lowered his head and stood very obediently, not trying to escape on the road at all.

After about 15 minutes of criticism and education, Arthur and the others were finally released, while Alice and her party were divided into two groups again. One group was responsible for taking the naughty children back to the church, while the other group stayed in the guild to handle related matters.This is related to matters including the guild's losses, the issue of bounties, and most importantly - compensation.

Alice and the others had previously promised to compensate this team in the suburbs, and that compensation was a letter of recommendation from the royal family of Les Penault.Although neither Vician nor Caschia told each other how valuable this letter was, they promised that this letter would definitely come in handy.

The adventurer team accepted the letter without any hope. However, what they didn't expect was that the letter not only allowed them to successfully cross the sea to Hydu Les Peno, but even caused quite a commotion.

But that was almost a week later...

Back to the present, Alice and Ivan Bell, who sent Arthur and his party back to the church, have returned, which means that their journey can start again.

They left the small town of Zege and continued heading east. After another half month passed, they finally crossed the long distance and arrived at the central city of Qiu Yadina.

Today's Qiu Yadina is divided into two parts by the war. The two parts are the resistance army occupying the northwest of the city, and the Orc Alliance occupying the remaining land.The area ratio between the resistance and the Orc Alliance is 1:4. From the area ratio, it is not difficult to see that the resistance is in a weak state, but judging from the current situation, the gap may be even wider.

Alice and her party discovered this when they took the first step into Qiu Yadina.Although this place has not completely turned into a dead city like Lactoma, it is almost there.There are only two or three kittens among the soldiers stationed here. Apart from them, there are only residents in ragged clothes and haggard faces on the streets.They didn't even get a curious glance from Alice when she walked into the city gate.

The situation is not optimistic. It is hard to imagine that this place was once a prosperous city comparable to the Holy City. All the glittering things no longer exist. Has the light of hope in people's hearts disappeared because of this?

No one knows and no one can answer.

After continuing to walk into the city for a while, Alice and her party finally found a store that looked normal from the outside. It was a small grocery store, which seemed very suitable for asking about the surrounding situation...

298 Chasing the past (1)

Arriving at Qiu Yadina, Alice and her entourage were first struck by the sense of depression permeating the city.They walked on the street for a long time before they found a small store that looked barely acceptable.

They planned to ask the store owner to see if they could learn some recent rumors.

As soon as they walked into this small shop that didn't even have a signboard, Alice and the four of them immediately felt that something was wrong.It’s not that the furnishings inside the store are out of place, but it’s that the store is much larger than it looks from the outside.With four shelves as a group, a total of more than a dozen groups of shelves were lined up from the door to the end, and the shelves were filled with strange items.

Take the shelf on Alice's left as an example. The first three compartments from the bottom to the top are all filled with books, but from the fourth compartment upwards, there are scattered vegetables and fruits.

Alice picked up an oval-shaped fruit and looked at it. When she turned it over, she was shocked to find that the fruit had legs.

"Squeaky!!!"

The fruit in Alice's hand suddenly screamed, and its sound, which was similar to a baby's cry, alerted other people in the store. For a moment, Alice and the four of them were surrounded by cries one after another.

"Are these all mandalas?"

"Alice—what do you say—I can't hear you clearly!"

"I'm talking - these look like mandalas!"

"What did you say -? What Tuo? Tuo what -?"

"Man-tuo-luo-ah!!!"

Alice and Ivan Bell seemed to be having a conversation, but they seemed not to be having a conversation. Neither of them could hear what the other was saying clearly due to external interference.This stupid conversation lasted for a very long time. When Alice repeated "Mandala!" to Ivan Bell for an unknown number of times, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Alice slowly let go of the hand blocking her ears. She looked at Ivan Bell, then at Vician and Caschia, and then asked blankly: "They have really shut up now, right?" ?”

But before she waited for her companions to answer, a pale and elderly voice answered for her.

"Yeah, they won't make any noise anymore."

The voice said this, and Alice immediately turned back to look at him. In the dim light, she saw a face covered with wrinkles.

And a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"Since you are not here to buy anything, then leave quickly."

After the strange old man finished speaking, he limped deeper into the room on crutches.Alice asked him to stop, but he kept walking forward as if he didn't hear her.

For some unknown reason, Alice and her entourage actually followed him, and now, they were standing outside the counter watching the old man smoking his pipe leisurely.During this period, the old man didn't say a word to them, but looked at them quietly through the rising smoke.

After about five or six minutes, the old man blew out a puff of smoke and spoke: "You are here to find the truth."

Hearing this question, Alice nodded subconsciously.The old man looked at her with a clear look in his eyes.

"You're tracking demons from the past, you all."

The old man knocked the pipe in his hand, and then continued: "The person you are looking for is in the south, closer than you think."

After saying that, the stem of the pipe in his hand suddenly stretched until the old man could use it to point to the map on the opposite wall.The map on the opposite wall is an overhead view of Qiu Yadina, which is very detailed.

But Alice could swear to God that this thing was clearly not there before.

"Knock, knock" twice, the long pipe rod continued to knock on the map. The place it hit was a longhouse. Judging from the location marked on the map, it happened to be the same store where they were now. A street away.

It is indeed "closer than any of you think."But how did the old man, whose name was not revealed to them, know?

"Hey, old man! How did you know we were looking for something? And what is there?"

Ivan Bell jumped on the counter and asked with his hands on his hips.

The old man glanced at her silently, and then he took a deep breath from the pipe in his hand that had returned to its original shape without knowing when.After that, he raised a hand when Alice and the other two asked. This hand waved, and the next second there was an invisible and intangible energy pushing Alice and her party out of the store. Walk.

"Wait a minute! I still have a lot of things I haven't asked clearly...!"

"boom!"

Alice's unwilling shouting and the sound of the store door closing heavily sounded almost at the same time. When she got up from the ground and wanted to rush back into the store...

Are there any old shops on the street?There was just a whole stone wall with holes in it.And behind the stone wall is a cemetery, so there is no space to build buildings.

"We, we did walk into a store just now, right?"

Alice's voice trembled a little as she spoke, and she looked a little winced.

"If everything is false, then why are my ears still ringing?" Visian rubbed his ears with one hand and continued to answer: "That old man is probably a magician from somewhere, and he is also that A mage who specializes in space magic."

"Space magic?"

Ivan Bell, who knew nothing about magic, interrupted, and Alice explained it to Vician smoothly.She replied: "It includes magic such as transferring objects, slowing down the flow of time, or freezing the life and death status of something."

"Isn't that amazing!"

"It's powerful, but not only does it consume a huge amount of magic power, it's also quite dangerous. If you're not careful, you'll be sucked directly into the void. This is what happened to one of my seniors..."

Even if Alice was not allowed to continue speaking, Ivan Bell understood the dangers of space magic.But at the same time, she also learned that the greedy silver dragon was good at space magic.

"I didn't expect that stupid dragon to be so powerful..." Ivan Bell muttered in his heart while kicking the pebbles on the roadside.

"Then what should we do now? Should we go directly to the place the guy mentioned? Or should we go to the streets to find news?"

Alice gestured to her companions to give them better advice.Caschia thought for a moment and suggested: "Let's go to that place first. After all, the surroundings... I don't think we can ask anything."

After hearing this, the others began to turn their heads and look around. The surroundings were indeed as Caschia said, and there was no opportunity for them to collect intelligence.

Chapter 299: Chasing the Past (2)

"This house looks like it would be popular with thieves."

This was the first thought that came to Alice's mind when she arrived at the longhouse the strange old man had spoken of.It's not that the house looks valuable, but from the outside it looks like it has been visited many times.The front door of the house was completely unusable. Not only was the door lock violently broken, but even all the usable metal parts on the door were gone.We can definitely say that this door is a useless decoration. After all, it cannot even stop strangers. It can only be pitifully removed and thrown aside, waiting for the arrival of decay in the cold wind.

But that's not the worst, the inside of the longhouse is even more shocking than it looks from the outside.When Alice walked into the longhouse, she was hit by a stink that was hard to ignore. It was not the rancid smell that comes from creatures that have died for a long time, but a...

The smell of excrement only comes after fermentation.

"Evil! It stinks! Who did such a disgusting thing?!" Alice covered her nose and said with a distorted face.

But she just spoke a few words, and the rotten smell was poured directly into her mouth and throat, and a strong sense of nausea followed the next second.

"vomit--!"

Unable to hold it back, Alice immediately started retching.Before she could really vomit all over the floor, she ran out of the house and breathed in the cold air mixed with broken snow outside.

After a minute or two, her companions also ran out of the house one after another. The one who ran at the front was Ivan Bell. She fell to her knees directly after stepping out of the house, her eyes looking at the sky. Still flashing a little tears.

No one can stand the smell of fermentation and decay in the house, especially for Ivan Bell who has an unusual sense of smell. It is simply the most cruel torture in the world.She would rather live alone in the slaughterhouse for a whole year than spend even an hour in the same house.

You want to ask why?Then she will tell you: "The smell of blood is at least better than the smell of excrement, right?"

After a few minutes of relaxation time, Alice and the four of them finally recovered from the nausea after inhaling the stench. They are currently sitting in the snow, huddled together and having a complaint meeting.

The first was Alice. She continued to retch, and then said bitterly: "I always feel that the taste is still in my mouth."

"Who wouldn't? Ugh...it's so disgusting."

Wei Xi'an rarely showed the same embarrassed expression as Alice, and after finishing speaking, he even shrank his neck in disgust.

"Phew - let's rest for a while, and then go in and explore."

"Okay-?! Wait, are we really going in again?"

Alice readily agreed to Caschia's proposal, but just after saying a few words, she realized something was wrong.She was so frightened that she jumped up from the ground, stared wide-eyed and said, "Go in there, are you serious? Didn't we just escape from there!?"

This makes sense. Who would want to walk into that smelly garbage dump at this time?

But besides this longhouse, where else would they go to find clues about Eva's location?

"I think it would be better for us to go in and check it out." Caschia reiterated: "Maybe there are many useful things in there."

"But inside..."

"Even if we want to go in, we must take protective measures. Otherwise, we will fall into our own vomit before we can get out." Wei Xi'an walked cross-legged on the ground, and he glanced not far away with interest. door, and then turned his gaze back. "Let's think of a reasonable solution, and then we can go on an 'adventure' in the longhouse.", he said with a sigh.

"I don't want to go any more than Alice does, unless you can break my nose."

"Then what can we do? Vexian, what can you do?"

Ivan Bell first united the front with Alice, and then Alice began to seek Vician's opinion.Wei Xi'an thought for a while, and then began to take things out of his body.

His body is like a mobile treasure chest, with potion bottles, scrolls, grenades and scattered small parts of unknown use.

Dozens of various objects covered the ground in front of him.
